If I ever wondered were I'd finally draw a line at toxic yaoi here it is.
I really can't help but hate Rogi, that dude, he had his issues but doing that to your love's SON???? He never really did anything to make me feel he "deserved better" they manga just tried to bleach him with the daughter but he coul've been a better person overal, he just choose to be a really awful person, and was ok with it. Great for him I suppose.
Not gonna lie, I was probably out of this way back when we met Tatsu's mom, I will forever be angry that the preference over Rogi was so obvious because she was holding EVERYTHING together, raising 1 kid and 2 (and a half) overgrown manchilds but still Tora had the audacity to tell Rogi that he still was better than her here and there, c'mon man, just admit you like him better and save us from this torture. I personally, think is so unfair that, in a manga about going against the usual roles, fight the rules that constantly praise Tora and Rogi for their immaturity and egoism, Asami IS the one with the short end of the stick being the only responsible adult that knows she has a kid and that they have to be careful, but no, she is pushed in a role that stresses her and no one stops to think of her or help her, SHE EVEN HAS TO GO ALL, "OH POOR CHILD" on Rogi as if he wasn't a goddamn adult that got himself fully in those situations and even mocks her everytime he can.
Tora's side idk bruh, if I was him, a dad, even if I'm a Yakuza, I'll try to control my Dick better, but thats just me. This manga kind of tells you Boys will be Boys or something like that, because god forbid, him acting like an adult and help his wife instead of spending time with his twink, Asami should let those 2 alone and see if they survive without her.
Also, sorry not sorry but choosing Rogi's crusty ass over Tatsu's Mommy?????, unbelievable, that woman was so fine and such a badie, I can't help but disagree so hard with the life choices made here., If I married her i'd never let her go. Asami's fate is also the worst, she wasn't perfect but c'mon she wasn't either Rogi or Tora AND STILL you give those two the happy ending???? and what she gets?? Is implied she dies right? She doesn't appear anymore in the future and after that her husband goes back waltzing at his lover (acting like he oh suffered soooo much without him) said lover also r*ped their son but no one gives a f*ck, Yakuza my ass, theres a lot of uncomlon things for Yakuza but we are only excusing the bad ones, not having a reaction over what happened to Tatsuyuki is insane and too convenient.
The story and everything was good, it really was a story of obssession and Toxic masculinity and unresolved issues that won't ever fade but with the two lovers being ok with it, and I appreciate that, is just not my thing because there was a point I wanted to kick them both for being jerks. But, well, they wouldn't care anyway, they are happy, in their own little world at least.
